CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDIANS.…
CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDIANS. I On Saturday the Major's motion for admitting the Press was brought before the board. As a proof of the forlorn condition to which the Cardiff end Merthyr Guardian has been driven, and as an extraordinary i. Sf-Hiunce that now the Mayor liad taken the question up it must lie earned, tiro reporters from that journal ;i;tered the board-room before the motion bad been ili-poscd of. On seeing them take their seats Mr. Coby asked the Chairman if all strangers were not excluded by a recent resolution? Why were two reporters present? The CHAIRMAN was not aware that there were any strangers in the room. He mistook them for guar- dians. (Laughter.) left the room. 'The'Clerk having read the notice of motion for the introduction of the Press, The MAYOR rose and said that in accordance with the notice-of motion already read, he now appeared hr.-fore the board. He deeply regretted the resolution that had been passed excluding thcreprescntatives of the Press. He also deeply regretted his inability to attend the last time the subject was brought on for discussion. He had resolved in his own mind to do so, hut unfortunately he was called off on business connected with the quarter sessions, and though he made a determined effort to return to Cardiff in time for the meeting, he failed to do so. He had always entertained the opinion" that public matters should he publicly discussed and publicly reported. He felt Tom the first moment he heard that the representa- ives of the 1'ress were excluded from that board, it ivas a false and unwise step hence in conformity ..ith the principles which he had ever entertained, je now came forward to move that the Press be ad- mitted to the meetings of the guardians. 1;c' W. BIWCE had great pleasure in seconding 'he resolution. The little experience already ob- rdned since the exclusion of the Press, only tended .(> confirm the opinion to which he gave ut- erance some few weeks back. One argument ii Id need bv those who were in favour of the exclusion if the Press was, that the speeches would not be so oil.- after they ceased to be reported. It had turned nit that those who laboured under that conviction iad been greatly deceived, for, notwithstanding the exclusion of the representatives of the Press, those vho thought there were abuses which required recti- ying still went on making speeches which were duly -eported. It was to be regretted that the reports tppeared only in one paper at the present. [Mr. iVillett: In two papers—the Cardiff Times and the ■liar of Cricent.] Then I stand corrvected. I was iot aware that they appeared in more than one paper >efore. He heard a gentleman complain that he had iot been fairly reported. Now he could easily un- lerfitand how extremely difficult it must be for a per- .on who was a partizan in the discussions, however lonest his intentions might be, to avoid giving a :ertain complexion to his reports, perhaps unob- erved by himself, and altogether unintentional. For ,is own part he must say, that so far as he had been ihie to discern, he felt convinced that the discussions ,1ll1 been faithfully reported. It had been said by he chairman that the ratepayers ought to be satisfied nth the half-yearly abstract published for their in- brmation. For his own part, as a ratepayer, he vas far from being satisfied with that paltry and mea- gre record of the results of the transactions of this joard. The ratepayers bad heard accusations made igainst an officer of the board hitherto highly res- pected had they not a perfect right to be fully in- ormed of the grounds of those accusations? Were hey not entitled to a perfect report given by disin- ;-r sred representatives of the Press ? He did not ■•ican to say that every conversation which took place i the board ought to be reported. There were re- narks sometimes made and subjects introduced v iiich would occasionally form an exception but the 1:10 was that all public matters should be faithfully e; ><>rted. .MI-. CORY had great pleasure in supporting the re- flation. He was right glad the Mayor and Mr. ii'iife had taken up the subject; had they not done (i it was his intention to have brought it forward. f < was glad that Mr. Bruce had seconded the re- >!riiiiiii, but he was in hopes that^Mr. Thomas was 'i >i: i g to do so. H.'V. H. THOMAS said that from motives of delicacy .:ul prudence he should refrain from making any em irks until the reporters again entered the OO;H. Mr. TWIGS did not admire the conduct of the re- lortcrs of the Guardian newspaper in attempting to hru-.t themselves into the room before the resolu- ion was passed, especially after advocating the ex- oil of the press. He considered that paper had i.graced itself throughout the whole of this dis- u ion. Mr. MASON could not give a silent vote on this uosiion. It was of the greatest importance to the a.epiu-ers that they should be made acquainted not lily with the results of these deliberations, but the ea.ions assigned for the conclusions arrived at from j me to time. His motto was "not men but mea- u:'cs." He accepted the resolution not as a matter favour but as an act of justice to the public. The MAYOR said he was happy to find that no cmark had been offered by any member of the board )!.icu called for a reply. In introducing his re- ohitioii lie had studiously avoided giving utterance o any observation which was likely to create party deling, and he was pleased to observe that the oeakers who followed him had adopted thdlsame course. The resolution was carried by a unanimous ex- u-essioit of assent, without being formally put to the otc, and the two reporters of the Guardian news- paper, who had been standing outside the door, imme- liately walked into the room and took their seats at he table. Mr. 11. 0. JONES now called attention to the filthy tat e of the yards and the deficiency of drainage. This led to a general conversation, the Chairman naintaitung that there was no Workhouse in the aiigJorn so well drained as theirs. The Clerk explained that formerly the house was [rained into cesspools, which were very offensive, ¡at latterly a system of pipe drainage had been idopted. From the discussion it would appear that the sys- eniofpipe drainage acted very admirably, with the :xception that it would not carry off the water. Mr. R. O. JONES proposed, and the MAYOR ,0conJed, a resolution to the effect that the yards and trains be repaired. The CIIAIRMAN still contended that it was the best 1 rained house in the kingdom, and that if any alter- i, Tli were to be made it was the business of the i-dting committee and not of the Board. nev. iV. C. EVANS ironically suggested the calling 3 the services of Mr. Hawkshaw. Mr. TWIGG suggested that if it must be left to the kiting committee, it would be as well to add the nine of Mr. Daniel Jones. This course was ultimately agreed to. Kev. W. BRUCE inquired if there had been any uswer from the Poor Law Board to their application )r an Inspector? The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Graves, the Poor taw Inspector, announcing his intention to com- iem'9 bis inquiry on Thursday, the 10th. Mr. MASON said he was very much surprised to '0 an advertisement in the Guardian newspaper for :tiilé, for provisions. A resolution had been pas- xl at that board some time back, that no more ad- ertiseraents for tenders should be sent to newspapers. here was no doubt that such a resolution was un- mstitntional, but it having been passed by the card it appeared strange to him that an advertise- S icut should appear in that paper, without bringing ;e question before the board. It was a subject iiicii required explanation, The oleik said on leading the Consolidated Orders e found that the board were in error in passing the solution not to advertise. He bad lost sight ■ the Orders at the time that the resolution is passed. He had intended to have brought the ihject before the board last Saturday, but from the ultipiicity of discussions, and also from his own >rsoiial indisposition he had overlooked it, and the me was gone by, ten days' notice being required ;tt)re tenders could be examined. He therefore rote to the chairman, asking for instructions as what paper he had better advertise in, when he is advised to do so in the Guardian. The CIIAIRKAH said that having received the clerk's tter, and finding that they were legally required advertise, he had requested him to do so in the 'Ktrdiin, that being the newspaper selected by the ani on former occasions. He would propose that c boiU-d should confirm the course adopted by the 'J'k and himself, and that the mode of tendering left to the visiting committee. Mr. TWIGG was exceedingly sorry that the Guar- %n above every other paper should have been Icetell. He contended that comparing the circu- ion in the town of Cnrdiff of that paper with the '■rdiff Times, the amount was ten to one in favour the Cardiff Time and he thought it very absurd advertise in a paper which scarcely anybody in rdiff ever thought of reading. Mr. MASON regretted that the advertisement mid have appeared in its present form. He should e the tender for beef to be free of bone, as it was the gaol. j Sir. WILLETT said that it was far from his wish to ofl:er any observation which might be considered as personally offensive to any guardian, but he felt called upon once for all to enter his protest against the unwarrantable interference of the Chairman. That gentleman seemed to ignore the existence of the board altogether. He had no wish to go back to former grounds of complaint, or to rake up old sores, bnt he could not help saying that the chair- man had no authority whatever to perform an official act out of that board. The law had very properly provided that no guardian could act as such except at the board, but Mr. David was continually giving orders on his own responsibility. Mr. R. O. JONES here interfered, and said that Mr. Willett was not speaking to the resolution. Mr. WILLETT: The resolution under discussion is, that the course adopted by the chairman in causing that advertisement to be entered into the Guardian without the sanction of this board, and contrary to a standing resolution be confirmed, and I am speaking to that resolution, and your interruption is most irregular. It was now discovered that the chairman's reso- lution had rot been seconded, but this error having been immediately cured by the Rev. Horatio Thomas, Mr. WILLETT said, I take it, Mr. Jones, that I am in order now, and hope to be allowed to proceed without any more of these unseemly interruptions. He objected to the advertisement as it appeared for several reasons. It was a very imperfect advertise- ment. The article of shoes was not included, neither were funerals. They were paying much too high a price for the inmates' shoes at present, and when the business was left to officials it was always open to jobbery. Then there was the article of meat, which was very loosely worded, and was to be supplied to the satisfaction of the master. What had been the result of leaving this part of the business in the hands of the master ? They would scarcely believe that it had resulted in this, that the butchers had actually sent their meat to the Workhouse without weighing it, and confided the weighing to the master. But the master required that his own larder should, in the first place, be supplied with the first fruits of the season. At the commencement of the lamb season nothing less than a fore-quarter of lamb would suit, at other times a loin of veal, or some other expensive joint. The butchers having in the first place played their part by catering to the palate of the master, he in return weighed their meat ac- cordingly for them. This was an illustration of the old adage, You scratch me and I'll scratch you." Rev. H. THOMAS (interrupting): Mr. Wilktt, I think that the best thing that the master can do will be to ask you to dine with him on these nice joints. Mr. WILLETT Are you in the habit of doing so, Mr. Thomas ? Rev. H. THOMAS: No; but I should have no objec- tion whatever. Mr. WILLETT What, at the expense of the paupers? Rev. H. THOMAS Oh, no. Mr. WILLETT said it had been proposed to leave the management of the provisions in the hands of the committee. To that course he strongly objected. That committee had never yet met more than once since their appointment, although by law they were required to go through the house at least once a week. He had no confidence whatever in such a committee, and should, therefore, move as an amend- ment That the whole question of the supply of provisions and clothing be taken into consideration at the board meeting on Saturday next." The CHAIRMAN Since Mr. Willett has charged me with taking the business of this board on myself, I should like him to name one single instance, with this exception, where I have given orders on my own responsibility. Mr. WILLETT Since the chairman has asked me to give him one instance, I will, out of a number that I could name, favour him with two. There was the case of the nurse, who was dismissed from this house some time since, or who quietly resigned under Mr. David's sanction, without the case ever having been mentioned to the board. There was also the quiet alteration in the dietary table by the chairman's private instructions to the master. The paupers had been deprived of 4oz. of potatoes at. each meal ac- cording to that printed table, and when we began to inquire into the question of dietary this alteration was quietly made by the order of the chairman, without bringing the fact of such an important omission before the board. The CHAIRMAN Mr. Willett is mistaken. The alteration was made by the visiting committee, and not by me. Mr. WILLETT: Nothing at all of the sort. That committee had never met when you made the altera- tion. You gave the order privately to the master on the Saturday. The increase in the quantity of potatoes was first made on the following Monday, and the committee met for the first time on the fol- lowing Wednesday, or four days after you gave the order. Here a general discussion took place. Mr. Oliver Jones attempting to stop Mr. Willett from proceed- ing, and the Rev. H. Thomas and the Chairman ex- plaining that in the case of the nurse it was on ac- count of immorality on her part, and the chairman said that she had left the workhouse before his arrival. Mr. WILLETT said that what he complained of was that these matters were transacted privately without the board being informed of the reason why. Mr. R. O. JONES defended the conduct of the chairman, and continued to exhibit great marks of impatience, observing that there were several gentle- men who wanted to go about their business. Mr. WILLETT: Mr. Jones, the question of the supply of provisions to this board is a very im- portant one. Mr. JONES No doubt of it. Mr. WILLETT said that there was no excuse for the advertisement having been inserted without the sanction of the board. It was be who called the at- tention of the clerk to the subject, and pointed out the order more than a month back. Mr. TWIGG having seconded Mr. Willett's amend- ment, it was put to the vote, when only four guardians held up their hands in favour of it, all the others voting for the resolution, confirming the act of the chairman. Mr. Mason, Mr. Twigg, Mr. Cory, and Mr. Willett voted for the amendment. Saturday week being Christmas day, it was ar- ranged that the bo rd should meet on Friday next.
TREDEGAR AGRICULTURAL EXIBITION.
TREDEGAR AGRICULTURAL EXIBITION. The annual exhibition of the Tredegar Agricul- tural Society took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, under very favourable circumstances. The exten- sion of these interesting proceedings to two days instead of confining them to one day, as on former occasions, was a decided improvement, as it gave the numerous exhibitors ample opportunity to display their stock, while the public reaped the advantage of viewing the various implements of husbandry, and the animals at their leisure. The extenstve cattle market was gaily decorated with flags, and every- thing within the enclosure bore evidences of order and cleanliness highly creditable to the gentlemen who superintended the arrangements. Commencing with the agricultural implements which covered a large portion of ground on the north west angle of the market, and occupied the shed- ding, forming a chief feature in the show. We noticed a numerous assortment of waggons, carts, patent wheels and axles (manufactured by J. S. Stone), the most worthy of note being the prize wagon made to order for Sir C. Morgan. The prize reaper, by M'Cormick, of Chicago, Illionois, United States, the two horse power thrashing machine, remarkable for having carried off numerous prizes, Comes's patent chaff cutter, winnowing machines, ploughs, paring ploughs, seed mills, pulpers, and every other description of farming implements, varying in price to suit all purchasers, and amount- ing to more than two hundred and fiftv specimens, were exhibited by Mr. J. S. Stone, of Newport, and Mr. Hugh Bird, of Cardiff. Although Mr. Bird's stock was less in number and variety than those of Mr. Stone, displayed a choice assortment of imple- ments, from the b st patentees and manufacturers, and we can fairly state that on no occasion has there been a better show of what may be considered as the useful and ornamental combined, at this or any other agricultural society's exhibition. As might have been, anticipated from the progressive strides now being made in the rearing and feeding of live stock, there was a show of choice bovine specimens. Eevery prize was well competed for, and therefore we saw but few empty stalls in the sheds. Amongst the large numbers of fine fat beasts the grey cow of Mr. Higgins, of Woobston Grange, two cows belong- ing to Mr. Logan of Christchurch, and one exhibited by Sir Charles Morgan attracted our attention. There was a conspicuous show of very fine North Devons, short horns, and Herefords, (two years old, yearling bulls, and heifers); also several bulls, milch cows, cows and calves, and oxen, worthy of particular notice. Of horses there was a very excellent show, both as regards numbers and symmetrical proportions; amongst which the beautiful thorough bred bay horse exhibited by G. R. G. Relph, Esq., attracted general admiration. A very fine entire horse, be- longing to Mr. Thomas Phelps, of Ross, and a draught horse (entire), exhibited by Mr. Thomas Evans, from Glamorganshire, were well worthy of attention. We also noticed a beautiful white Arab being led round without the enclosures allotted to the horses. The display of sheep was meagre, al- though the specimens were very fine. Pigs were also small numerically, but they made up in excessive fatness, indeed it was a matter of surprise to many how such porcine monsters could respire, at all events their fat must have been burthensome to them. The department allotted to the poultry was a marked feature in the exhibilion, and proved very attractive, there being a great variety. The fowls, geese, and ducks were invariably exhibited in threes of a specie, a male and two females, all ticketed and priced, and the sums asked for some, such as a game cock and two hens £ '52 10s., seemed fabulous, but we suppose they were so marked to prevent any one from being tempted to purchase. The weather on Tuesday was remarkably fine, and the scene of the exhibition wore an animated appearance, the attendance being numerous, and the presence of a large number of ladies rendered it still more attractive. The usual dinner took place at the King's Head Hotel.

"Come, Bob, how much have you cleared by your speculations," said a friend to his companion. "Cleared," answered Bob with a frown," why I've cleared my pocket. A SILENT PAIR.-The father of the late Duke of Devonshire, like his brother, Lord George Cavendish, (father of the present Duke,) was a very silent man. When travelling together through Germany, on stopping at8an inn, they were told that they could only be ac- commodated with a chamber containing three beds, one of which was already occupied. They, however, felt some curiosity, aud drawing aside the bed curtains, each took a momentary peep. They immediately got into bed, and slept soundly. Next morning, after they had breakfasted and paid their bill, the Duke merely said to his brother, "George, did you see the dead body?'' Yes," was the reply, and they both got into the chaise and proceeded on their journey without another word. [

CARDIFF POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CARDIFF POLICE INTELLIGENCE. FRIDAY. (Before R. O. JONFS, Esq.) STEALING BJK:ON.—Charlotte Kiilagroo was charged with stealing a small piece of bacon, the property of Messrs. Hughes, grocers, Bute Docks. Fourteen days' imprisonment. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.—Thomas Jones, Evan Hughes, and Mary Herman were charged with robbery from the person with violence. John Gustavus Adolphus Newberry, founder, Cardiff, was at the Dowlais Inn, on Wednestlay evening. Went there about six o'clock, and a Mr. Evans was in his company. Had £ 1 10s. in gold and some silver in a purse in the left hand trouser's pocket. The prisoners and two other persons were also in the room, and after they had gone out he missed his purse from his pocket. His friend Evans and himself followed the prisoners and caught them. Jones cross-examined the prosecutor, asking him if he was not drunk, and he said, he was not. Jones then asked him, if he was not drunk how it was he sat down to drink with a lot of roughs ? and in reply prosecutor gave as a reason that the prisoner offered him his glass, and then he paid 5s. for beer for the company. The female: Did you not sit dojvn by a sweep ? and did you not sing The Rose in June" to him ? Prosecutor: Yes, I sang. (Laughter.) William Evans, who was in company with Mr. Newberry on Wednesday night, said he saw the prisoner Hughes put his hand into prosecutor's pocket, and then a person said the prosecutor had been robbed, and Jones had got it. Prisoners rushed out of the house, and witness fol- lowed. Remanded till Monday. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF AFFILIATION.—Mr. John Davies, grocer, St. Mary-street, Was summoned as the putative father of Mary Ann Simpson's child. Mr. Owen appeared for the appl&ant, and Mr. Bird for the defence. Applicant, who is about eighteen years of age said she went to be shop-woman to the defendant in October, 1857. A fortnight after she went there he began to pay attentions to her, and used to go out with her. On one occasion, in December, they were at Llandaff, and went into Mr. Thomas Winstone s, and defendant said to Mr. Winstone, This is my intended wife." After that improper connection took place, and the child was born m October last. In cross-examination, the young woman said she left the defendant's service in August. He had been a widower, and .was. married in February last. Did not leave his service by his orders, but of her own accord, and that was because of a disturbance be- tween him and his wife. Did not walk on the Canton- road with George Francis. Never walked out with a youth named Verity. Was never with young Collingdon dancing at Hill's terrace. Mr. Thomas Winstone said the young woman and defendant were at his house in Decem- ber last. He was sent for by defendant, who said •'This is my intended wife, what do you think of her?" Witness replied, that if she was as good a woman as the first wife she would do. The defendant then made some remark to the applicant to the effect that his first wife was a good woman. Witness was at defendant's shop on the day of his marriage, and he saw the young I woman, to whom he said I wish you joy," as it was his impression that she was the Mrs. Davies from what trans- pired at Llandaff. Mr. Owen said lie had no more wit- j nt-sses at present, and AIR. Jones said there was not snffi- cient corroboration. Mr. Owen then said he would call the defendant, let the consequence be what it might. The defendant was sworn, and said he was now acting in the shop for a sister, his property having been taken under an assignment. Remembered going to Llandaff with ap- plicant, but did not take her from his own house. They went to Mr. Winstone's mother's house. Might have said I in a joke what Mr. Winstone had stated. (Laughter.) Never had any connection with the young woman, and never promised her marriage. Would not answer the question whether another young woman went from his house in the family way. He knew he had no child sworn to him. In reply to Mr. Bird, he said he ordered the ap- plicant from his house when he ascertained that she was. in the family way. When charged with being in the family way she said What the the odds to you when you are not the father of it." The Stipendiary Magistrate closely examined the defendant as to his con- duct towards the applicant. Mr. Owen then called an elderly female named Jane Williams, the defendant's aunt, who said she remembered applicant living in his house. Would not swear that she did not complain to defendant of being too intimate with the applicant. He did not turn her (witness) out, but she left of her own accord. Did not follow them into privacy. Never saw them going out together. They never had tea together in the drawing-room. Did not remember that she com- plained of tea in the drawing-room. Remembered the young woman's mother coming to the house about her child, and she used strong language; and witness might have said I thought it would come to that." [Mr. Jones here said he never saw a witness misconduct her- self more than this aged woman.] Mrs. Simpson did come to the house about the girl. W itness left defendant's house because they quarrelled about his being so often out, and owing her money. Did not know that the girl before this event was in the family way. Suppose he had she had not come against him for it. The Stipendiary Magistrate said he could not make an order on this evi- dence, and therefore the case was dismissed. SATURDAY. (Before R. O. JONES, Esq.) THE BLACK PRINCE.—John Laurence, a man of colour, and, according to his own account, a prince in his own country, was charged with assaulting Henry Lewis, on Thursday night. Complainant was coming up from the docks and joined a crowd which had assem- bled near Mr. Jonker's shop, when defendant struck him in the eye with his fist, and drew a knife and threatened to stab him. A number of persons had complained at the station house of defendant having flourished a knife in the streets. The prince made a very long speech to the bench, and concluded by saying that if he had struck with his fist lie would have oeen sure to have left his mark. Discharged. MONDAY. (Before R. O. JONES and W. D. BUSHELL, Esqrs.) STRANGE EFFECT OF BEER-DRINKING.- David Roberts was charged with being drunk and incapable on Saturday night. He was in such a condition that Mr. Paine was obliged to be sent for. Fined 5s. and costs, including the surgeon's fee.-James White was charged with a similar offence. When brought to the station prisoner was insensible, pulseless, and cold. Mr. Paine administered in this case. Fined 5s. and costs.—Daniel Sweeney was in a worse condition than the former. He was taken into custody at four o'clock on Sunday after- noon, and it was not till midnight he was brought round. Fined 5s. and costs.—Mr. Paine told the Superintendent that in these cases there must have been some deleterious beer drank, but as the men had been at different parts of the town it was difficult to account for it. DISORDERLIES.—Dennis Sullivan, drunk and disor- derly, on Saturday afternoon, in the Hayes, was fined 5s. and costs.—James Stanley was charged by Sergeant Cambridge with being drunk, and walking into Mr. Paine's kitchen. Fined 5s. and costs.—John Prendergast, sailor, drunk and disorderly in Bute-street, was sent to prison for three days.—James Goold was also sent for three days for a similar offence.—Lewis Stephens and Margaret Hurley, drunk and disorderly; the first was discharged, and the other sent to prison for three days.- Alfred Edwards was fined 5s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly in the market house on Saturday night. ADJOURNED CASE OF ROBBERY.—Thomas Jones, Evan Hughes, and Mary Herman, remanded from Friday, were charged with robbing Mr. Newbury. Mr. Bird ap- peared for the prosecution. The witness Evans said Dennis Sullivan pointed out to him who robbed Mr. Newbury. Sullivan was examined as a witness, and said he saw the rrosccutor and Evans at the Dowlais Inn, on the night in question. He told Evans that if he did not take care of Mr. Newbury, he would be sure to be done out of his money, and shortly after he saw Jones take something out of prosecutor's pocket. He then told Evans what Jones had done, as he was ashamed of the act after what Mr. Newbury had done. (Mr. Newbury had given the company some money to drink). The pri- soners Hughes and Herman were discharged; Jones pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three months' hard labour. Suspicious.—Daniel Callaghan and Michael Macarthy were charged with stealing a piece of rope. No. 2 of the Glamorganshire Canal Police took the prisoners into custody with the rope in their possession. One of the prisoners said he took the rope from the canal. Callaghan had bought the rope. Dismissed with a caution. ROBBERY ANB PROSTITUTION.—Emma Davis and George Barrington, were charged with robbing a French seaman, who had to be examined through an interpreter. Mr. Wilcocks defended, On Friday night the prosecutor was at a brothel in Evelyn-street, and before going to bed he placed AC4 in his shoe. The prisoner took some boiling water into the room, and capsized it, and then the woman who was with him left the room. About ten minutes after the male prisoner went into the room with a dagger under his sleave, the female prisoner being with him, and ordered him to leave the house. Prosecutor dressed, and on putting his shoes on missed his money. When he got into the street, the female prisoner shut the door-. Said nothing about his money, because he did not see e the other woman. In cross-examination the Pr<^s^cu,°1, said neither of the girls saw him put his money int0 "s shoes. Told the policeman it was the other woman w o tcok the money. P.C. Hardwick took the prisoner into custddy, and the girl said she knew nothing about it as the girl who was with the seaman had left the house. Dismissed. „ SEAMEN'S WAGES,—The captain of the barque £ >ea was summoned by a seaman named Neilson for wages. Mr. Wilcocks appeared for the complainant, and All. Ingledew for the defendant. The complainant clanneu his wages and dischaige, on the ground that he had ful- filled his articles, and that £ 5 10s. was due to him. On the other hand it was said there were alternative clauses in the articles, which had not been fulfilled. Dismissed, and defendant's costs allowed. A PITIABLE OBJECT.—Maria Amos, an aged female of respectable appearance, was charged with stealmS a pair of boots, the property of Mr. William Evans. °T secntor had a stall in the market on Saturday, and a""J1. 9.30 he was busy, and saw the prisoner turn from the sta'> and at the same time missed a pair Of boots.

She is 62 years of age, and lost her husband nine weeks ago, by an accident he fell over the locks and was killed. Since his death she has been keeping a smatt shop. The bench took a merciful view of the case, and imprisoned her for three days. TUESDAY. (Before the MAYOR and W. D: BUSHEI.L, Esq.) DISTURBANCE IN CHARLOTTE-STREET. Edward Rowe, a sailor, was charged by Joseph Strange with all assault,'on Monday night, in Charlotte-street. About eleven o'clock complainant was passing through the street with a friend, when a girl stopped his friend, and on requesting him to come along, defendant asked him if he wanted to fight, and struck him on the eve. P.C. 32 witnessed the assault. Defendant said the com- plainant came squaring up to him, and that led him to strike the blow. Fined 10s., including costs. VERDICT SERVED RIGHT.-Susannah Price was charged with stealing 2s. 6d. from Thomas Taylor, hob- bler. Last night he was in a brothel in Whitinore-lane, where the prisoner was, and he had half-a-crown in his hand to give a man some beer, when the prisoner took it from his hand. Questions by the prisoner elicited re- plies inferential of the fact that he gave her the money for an immoral purpose. Dismissed. A female clapped her hands, and she was taken into custody. Ordered to come up again on Wednesday. (She was cautioned and discharged on Wednesday.) PROFLIGACY.—Mary Clark was charged by Mr. Jesse Atkins with being disorderly on Saturday eveningt 'n Wharf-street. She is a bad character, and generally spends nine months of the twelve in gaol.

Mr* Wilcocks defended. P.C. 41 proved the charge, and stated that the prisoner used indecent language and sang libidinous songs. P.C. 32 corroborated. Mr. Wilcocks submitted that policemen were the worst possible means to put down prostitution, and argued that the charge brought against these girls were frivolous and vexatious. The bench sent them to gaol for seven days. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—John Ford, Robert Mackay, and John Gallagher were charged with a violent assault upon two French seamen. On Tuesday evening, as a French seaman and his companions were coming out of a beer-house, he was struck by the prisoner Mackay with a stone on the face, which cut him severely above the cheek-bone. His companions were also assaulted, in a like manner, and one gave evidence of the fact, but he did not know any of the prisoners. Another man who was not assaulted, said the prisoner Mackay threw the stones. P.C Foxford apprehended the prisoner by the door of a brothel, the Frenchmen pointing them out as the men who committed the assault. The prisoners said they were not concerned in this affair, and that they came into Evelyn-street to have a spree with the girls as it was the last night they were to be in port. Ford and Gal- lagher were discharged, as the evidence against them was doubtful: Mackay to pay J,3, including costs, or six weeks' hard labour. ASSAULT ON SHIPnOARD. Frederick Richards, mate of the Persian, was summoned by George Johnson a black man for an assault on board ship, during the voyage from Plymouth to Cardiff, and also at Cardiff. 0:\ Thursday last the defendant kicked him on the fore- head and on the way to this port he frequently ill-treated him. He declared he would be the death of complainant. Defendant acknowledged that he had rope's-ended the man, because he neglected his duty. Mr. Lewis said the defendant had no right to beat the man, although he was inefficient. The mate believed that he had as much right to do it as a father had to correct his children. Defendant called a witness to say that the complainant was neglectful of his duty. This witness said lie did not see the assault on the 10th. Some words were exchanged between the mate and the complainant, and the former called him a dirty scamp." The bench said they would not Allow such language in this court; and they were of opinion that the assault had been committed, for which they fined him 10s. and costs, or fourteen days' imprison- ment and they added that the mate had no right in law to rope's-end the man. They advised the complainant to apply for his wages and discharge, as there would be no peace for him on board.
